Do you have a nice young calf that is out of one of your good cow families? Do you think she might turn out to be a good cow someday? Well the Sho-Me Holstein Futurity is for YOU!

The Missouri Holstein Futurity consists of a one-time entry fee of $25 when calves are nominated and the cattle will be shown as Three-Year Olds.

All of the money collected for entry fees is split between the cattle shown the final year on a percentage basis. All of the extra money raised each year from donors is divided equally among all the entrants that show in the futurity.

So, if you have some heifers that were born between September 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021 then click on the 2024 3-Yr-Old Futurity Form below. check back for form. Entries will be due February 1, 2022. Print form and submit all entries and monies by FEBRUARY 1, 2022.

If you have any questions or would like me to mail you a form just fill out the request for information form at the bottom of the page.

MAIL DELAY - Again....
I am sorry to report that some of you have not received your Winter issue, while others have received it 3 weeks ago. The magazine is somewhere in the mail system and I have no control over the poor postal performance. However I do appologize. We have extended voting on Cow of the Year until Jan 22 (at convention). So please either print ballot here on website, or click to vote, online, or vote in person at convention. Thank you for your understanding.

Producers who wish to enroll for 2022 DMC coverage can sign up with their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office beginning Monday, Dec. 13, 2021–Friday, Feb. 18, 2022.

The deadline to enroll in DMC for 2022 is Feb. 18, 2022.

Regarding the supplemental DMC payment, which will represent 75% of the difference between an operation’s actual 2019 production and their DMC production history, producers will be required to provide their local FSA office with proof of their 2019 milk production. DFA will be sending members letters with production data soon. Remember that producers are eligible for this payment if their DMC production history is less than 5 million pounds. This supplemental payment is retroactive to January 2021 and will be in effect for 2022 and 2023.

Lastly, USDA announced an update to the feed cost calculation for DMC. USDA will now use high-quality alfalfa hay, which will result in increased payments. This program is retroactive to January 2020 and USDA is expected to make these payments to producers before the end of the year.

See the full USDA announcement here and expect more information about these programs next week, once the rules have been published.
